Bar Review - Ben's Bar in Shek O

As far away from Hong Kong as you can get, but still on the island itself. I think that in many ways the charm of Shek O lies in the fact that it is furthest beach away from Central. You could've gone to Deep Bay, Repulse Bay, South Bay, Chung Hum Kok, Stanley, Tai Tam, but no, you wanted to leave it all behind. And arriving in Shek O there is the sense of achievement that you have done your utmost to leave the thronging crowds, only to realise that everyone else has had the same idea. There truly is no escape.

Except that it is all relative. Ben's Bar is the quietest beach bar you might find on Hong Kong Island. So quiet in fact, that you can hear the waves crashing on the beach. Try this at another beach bar and you can not actually hear the waves crashing. They do have good beers, especially those from the Brooklyn Brewery.

The map shows that Ben's Bar lies right by the Shek O Health Centre on the back beach of Shek O. If it people you want, then head to Paradiso Beach Bar on the main beach of Shek O.
